I just received from chughes225 today, and I have a ton of pictures (taken on my cell phone, since my camera isn't working. So if you have better pictures, please feel free to post them chughes!).

My package arrived by owl post and was very neatly tied with green ribbon in a really cool blue boxwith HP stickers.

(Top)(Front)

And inside was a little trunk and brooms!! (Which had been tied to the top of the trunk before I opened it;I forgot to take pictures before.)(Front)(Sides)

Inside the trunk were two Bludgers attempting to get lose from their chains, a bat, a Quaffle, and a tiny Golden Snitch!

A closeup of the detailed painting inside of the trunk:

Also there was a letter from The Wizarding Cleaning Service and a note from Harry:

The letter said: "Dear Shannon, While cleaning out the flat that Harry and Ron were living in afterthe defeat of Lord Voldemort, we discovered a few things left behind. This Quidditch set and broomswere one of those things. This one came with this note.... After reading this we immediatly sent it onits way to you. We apologize that the snitch's wings are out and that its not in its compartment. Wehad a very hard time catching it and were unable to contain it. We hope you enjoy this gift. Sincerely,The Wizarding Cleaning Service."

The note from Harry said: "Please forward this Quidditch set and brooms to Shannon. We had Hermioneuse the Reducio spell to shrink it so it would be easier to store. I know she will treasure it as much as Idid. Thanks, Harry Potter."

Thank you soo much Cristen for everything!! I can't thank you enough, and I really hope you'll enjoywhat I'm making you.

Holy cow!! I love all the detail that went into it!! Is everything made of polymer? The level of detail in all of the paintings (?) on/in the chest are amazing!!

Yes everything is polymer clay a little wire and or aluminum foil. I painted and glazed the brooms to give them and the trunk a sheen, but let all the balls and bat raw. I thought it helped lend to the fact that it was once used. I don't think Ive ever painted something so small. It was a challenge, but I love it. Here's a pic I took before I sent it out.I had a hard time letting it go, but I was lucky enough to have a partner who I knew would love it just as much!
